Hi,

Pardon my density, but why does higher checking reduce power? If the hammer
tail doesn't drag on the way up (and it shouldn't), I can't see how higher
checking reduces power. Checking, after all, occurs after the hammer has hit
the string.

I must be missing something here.

  Jim, I dont think Richard mentioned that higher checking was a detriment
to repetion speed. It was lower drop = slower rep speed, and higher check =
less power.

    Richard,
    This is exactly what started this thread, and after my visit with Eric
    Schandall and repinning to 4 grams with higher checking things are
    working wonderfully. Fred said 1-3 grams, but Eric told me "No less than
    2, no more than 4". Also, they are making the tails a bit longer and
    want higher checking. It doesn't hurt repetition. It helps it. The key
    seems to be to pay careful attention to the rep spring strength. No
    bouncing, jerking, etc. but a firm rise w/o a jump.

the checking high reduces power.  Both are more
